We audited the National Park Service’s (NPS’) Residential Environmental Learning Centers (RELCs) to determine to what extent the NPS ensures the RELCs comply with agreements, statutes, and regulations.
We found that the NPS did not ensure that all activities and services provided by the RELCs complied with agreements, statutes, and regulations. Specifically, we found that the NPS did not consistently use the correct type of agreement or legal vehicle to authorize the RELCs.
